## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

Checking Yandex Maps by hand means opening the same listings over and over, hoping you catch a new review before a customer walks away unanswered. This Actor does the checking for you. Point it at any business ID or URL, schedule it daily or weekly, and receive fresh reviews and ratings as clean rows ready for a dashboard, spreadsheet, or alert.

### 🔍 What does Yandex Maps Review Monitor do?

Most Yandex Maps scrapers pull the entire review list every time you run them, so you pay again and again for reviews you already have. This Actor remembers what it already saw for each business and returns only what changed: brand-new reviews and any rating shifts since the previous run.

Give it a business ID or a Yandex Maps URL. It opens the reviews page, scrolls to load as many reviews as you ask for, and extracts the reviewer, star rating, date, and review text. On the next scheduled run, it compares against its own memory of that business and skips anything already delivered.

<table width="100%"><tr>
<td style="padding:12px 18px;background:#F5F3FF;border-left:4px solid #7B1FA2">
<span style="font-size:15px;color:#1C1917">&#9889; <b>Built for ongoing monitoring, not one-off pulls.</b> Set a daily or weekly schedule and let it run unattended. You only see what's actually new.</span>
</td>

### 💡 Why use Yandex Maps Review Monitor?

"I run a reputation-management agency covering Russian and CIS clients. I check ten business listings every morning for new reviews so I can respond fast. This Actor replaced that manual routine with a scheduled run and an alert."

"I manage a chain of coffee shops across Moscow. I want to know the moment a customer leaves a bad review, not find out three weeks later when I happen to check. This Actor tells me what's new since yesterday."

"I do competitive intelligence for a hospitality brand. I track review velocity and sentiment for five competitor locations without re-downloading their entire review history every week."

"I built an automation that runs this Actor daily and posts new reviews straight to a Slack channel. My team responds to reviews the same day they're posted."

### 💰 Pricing

Pricing is pay per result. You only pay for the reviews the Actor actually returns, so an empty run costs nothing. There are no monthly subscriptions and no minimum spend. Because the Actor only delivers what changed since your last run, a daily monitoring schedule stays cheap once the initial history has been collected.

### ✨ Tips

- Turn `onlyNewReviews` off for the very first run on a new business if you want its full review history, then leave it on for every scheduled run after that.
- Use `minRating` and `maxRating` together to watch only for reviews in a specific range, such as 1 to 2 stars for urgent response alerts.
- Turn off `includeReviewerData` if you only need the review content and don't want to store reviewer identity information.
- Combine a daily Apify Schedule with the Slack or Google Sheets integration to get new reviews delivered automatically without writing any code.

### ❓ FAQ

##### Как отслеживать новые отзывы на Яндекс Картах?

Add your business ID or Yandex Maps URL to the input, leave "Only new reviews" turned on, and set a daily or weekly schedule in Apify Console. Each run returns only the reviews posted since the last one.

##### Does it get blocked?

The Actor uses Russian residential proxy routing by default, which matches how a real visitor from Russia would browse Yandex Maps. This keeps runs reliable at normal monitoring volumes.

##### How fresh is the data?

Reviews are read directly from the live business page at the moment the Actor runs, so results reflect exactly what's published on Yandex Maps right now.

##### Do I need a Yandex account or login?

No. The Actor reads only public business and review data. No login or cookies are required.

##### What happens on the very first run for a new business?

Since there's no prior history yet, the first run with `onlyNewReviews` on returns every review currently visible, up to `maxReviewsPerPlace`. Every run after that returns only new ones.

##### Found a problem or need another field?

Open a ticket on the Issues tab of this Actor. Custom solutions and additional fields are available on request.
